Then get an ice pick. Go but a pork side and try it out . You me be surprised as to how well it does it's intended job.If you stabbed someone in the hart the point is like a needle the rest of the blade will not cut your skin. A three dollar ice pice will do the same thing
1st off I custom order this dagger told you how I wanted it you told me over the phone it took you seven days to make this pick / no a dagger and you did the best that you could so don't blame me for your short comings it's a pick not a dagger I own Both did I ask you for my money back no I didn't I personally thought the world such know you can't make a true dagger
I am not questioning him as a person I didn't say anything oabout the 3 other knives he has made for me I simply stated his dagger he made is very very short of my expectation and don't worry about making me any leather either I have been using the same leather master for years never had a problem I tell him what I want and he makes it and if he ever had any concerns he simply calls meStephen, I'm not sure English is your first language, so I'll give you a pass on your apparent inability to communicate effectively with the written word.
Tim Steingass is one of the best makers producing currently. His designs are innovative, and his techniques including heat treatment are among the very best available. On top of that he is a true gentleman.
Having read all the thread to this point, I have come to the conclusion that if you ever needed a custom leather sheath, I would invite you to look for a maker anywhere BUT me.

I understand now. Since the money isn't important to you, it just the big disappointment that this new dagger didn't fit the empty niche in your collection, that you had expected it to. I think that we all have made purchases that left us feeling less than elated, or somewhat regretful. I think that it's just the learning process that we all need to go through, and their always isn't a clear way to put the blame squarely on another person.I own toothpicks made by Randell the blades or to thick and wide made to Carry on you belt but they will shave you if to want ,I own English daggers that are to short and they will also shave you Tims blad I love the shape the design is simply great for a flat ice pick will not cut a peace a paper and that's the truth

I never ask for a refund I never complain about the design it fell extremely short of what I was having forI understand now.

OP asks for a specific knife design. Tim makes one of the most magnificent looking daggers I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful and well worth the asking price.
The problem, as I see it???? OP asked for something he has very little knowledge of.
I can see him buying an Opinel and getting pissed off because he cannot stab it through a car door.
I would ignore this thread, but I feel the OP is behaving like a spoiled, entitled petulant little brat. There is no reason to slander an artist for making a work of art that he was asked to make.
Go stamp your child like feet somewhere else.
I'll say it again, Tim, those daggers are breathtaking!!! Gorgeous work!

A good looking blade is just that !A GOOD LOOKING BLADE! If it want cut what is its worth (NOTHING) Gorgeous work well I didn't have him make a work of art to hang one the wall I wanted a blade to use if necessary it cut and pierce a human he made me a Gorgeous BUTTER KNIFEOP asks for a specific knife design.

You chose a blade design that highly favors stabbing over cutting performance and then gave the maker artistic freedom within the design. The end product came out with wicked sweet grinds that lend well to the specific daggers design, stabbing. The downside is that it is not a great cutter.A good looking blade is just that !A GOOD LOOKING BLADE!

Next time you have specfic wants for a commisioned item, let them know exactly what you want.
If i ask a gunsmith to make me a long gun modeled after the AK47 and give them no other direction, whos fault is it if he makes an SVD when i really wanted a Saiga?
